SEED A SPECIAL TY
To The Editor :—
Dr. Chapple, itfember‘of Parliament,
England, speaks in part as follows:
"These are the days, not of cure, but
of prevention. We cure diseases by
the hundred, but we prevent them by
the ten thousand. We know the
causes of many diseases and we en-
deavour to remove them."
Drinking is the cause ; and drunken-
nese, disease and crime are the results.
The drinker is drinking a paralytic
poison that is weakening first his will
power and second his resistence to
disease, Its action is so insidious that
the victim rarely knows till it has got
him in its power,
I have heard men declare, and they
sincerely believed it, that drink "never
did them any harm" when it was
obvious to all their friends that they
were dying on their legs.
Onr first duty then is to teach, teach.
teach, the nature and the power of
alcohol. Teach it in the schools, in
the homes, teach the teachers, and
teach all who ir;tlueuce others young
or old.
Tse chief cense of drinking is the
facilities for getting it and you increase
the quantity consumed, Lessen the
facilities for getting it and you leesen
the amouutconsumed. This has been
proved up to the hilt. Sunday closing
has proved. it, Liverpool temporary
closing proved it, Bar -room closing
during strikes and o' her disturbances
has proved it. Healy night closing has
proved it, No License districts in
various parts of the world has proved
it.
Our duty is plain—to lessen the
facilities for getting, drink, and let
those who know tell the facts and
teach the people.
